Excel not starting DPlot automatically

Post by JDog »

Hello,

This is my first ever post here.

I have an excel file that with the copy/paste special/link features I managed to insert a 3d scatter graph in excel using dplot. I also managed to interact to dplot using macros, mainly to change the contourview.

But now I have a problem. As soon as I close either of the programs, the graph in excel stops updating. DPlot is ok, when I re-open and I change stuff in excel it changes in dplot but the graph in excel doesn't.

What is happening is that on re-opening excel it detects links that need to be updated. I choose update but it gives this error: -

Remote data not accessible.
To access this data Excel needs start another application. Some legitimate applications on your computer could be used maliciously to spread viruses or damage your computer.Only click Yes if you trust the source of this workbook and you want to let the workbook start the application. Start application 'DPLOT.EXE'?

Yes No


Obviously since I built the application myself I trust it. However when I press Yes it says: -

Cannot run 'DPLOT.EXE'. The program or one of its components is damaged or missing.

Until now I have the evaluation version of DPlot. I had the IT guys purchase the licence, and are due to install the full version. Has this got to do anything with it or am I missing something?

Cheers

Jason
